Mekong At A Glance 2 Days

Saigon – Cai Be – Vinh Long – Can Tho – Cai Rang Floating Market

The Mekong 2 Days Tour skips the tourist trail and heads straight into the living heart of the Mekong Delta.

  • Walk through seasonal fruit orchards and taste fresh Delta produce with a cup of hot herbal tea
  • Listen to live Southern Vietnamese folk music performed in a garden orchard setting
  • Cycle through quiet village paths and observe local farmers at work in the fields
  • Glide through Cai Rang Floating Market by small boat at dawn, the largest floating market in Southeast Asia
  • Cruise through the bustling Cai Be and Cai Rang floating markets, where hundreds of boats trade fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish.
  • Glide along narrow canals by rowing boat and visit local workshops making rice paper, coconut candy, and pop-rice.
